Harvey Gold

Harvey Gold, born October 12, 1952 in Akron, Ohio, USA, is an American guitarist, bassist, and keyboardist for the avant-rock/new wave band Tin Huey. When the band members first went their separate ways in 1982, Gold also became a film and video producer. In 1986, he started his own production company in New York City, Gold Teleproductions, from which he retired in late 2016. Included among the projects he produced are specials for Nickelodeon, series and specials for Comedy Central and A&E, for Comedy Central the television series 2 Drink Minimum, the house band including a couple of his bandmates from Tin Huey, Chris Butler (musician) (as music director) and Ralph Carney. Gold also produced the music video for The Black Keys' "10 AM Automatic." After his 20-year stay in New York, Gold moved back to his hometown in early 2000 where he currently resides with his wife, Dolli Quattrocchi Gold. A current media project is the multi-layered (website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) www.yourbeernetwork.com, focused on craft beer & food, brewers, taverns, saloons, movies, music, wine, and a subjective take on "culture" in general.

Staying involved with the Hueys, Harvey played a role in completing their second album, Disinformation (album) released in 1999. In 2003, starting with a "Ralph Carney & Friends" gig in Cleveland (with The Black Keys opening for them), Harvey's involvement with various Tin Huey configurations started up again for a brief period, seeing the Hueys playing multiple gigs in NE Ohio and the NY/NJ area, including a gig headlining at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Moving on, Gold has appeared with his spin-off bands, Half Cleveland with Chris, and Harvey in the Hall, whose members include himself on the guitar, keyboard and vocals, the Hueys' and Unit 5's "Bongo" Bob Ethington on drums, Chi-Pig's Deborah Smith on bass and vocals, and Bruce Hensal as producer. Other guests/unofficial members, include The Byrds' and Flying Burrito Brothers' Chris Hillman, the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, and Dolli Gold; another band of his operating in the Harvey in the Hall sphere, Mr. Ray Violet, includes Gold on guitar, bass, digital sounds, loops and vocals, Tin Huey's Michael Aylward on guitar, harmonica and vocals, and on "Lemon Beasley," David Stephenson. Gold and Aylward, have done some recording and performances at art galleries as "Huey's Swing Club," an art-improv project.

In 2010, Gold recorded a piano track for Sally Spring's latest offering, "Stars" and completed a mini-tour (playing bass) with Sally in March of '11, playing at "Not SXSW" in Austin, and other venues due east, including Baton Rouge and New Orleans. This was followed up by a Spring 2012 European Tour billed as "Sally Spring and the Folk/Country Blue Boys" (Ted Lyons, Sally's husband, guitarist, drummer, producer, and Gold) centered on three appearances at F.I.M.U, the annual music festival held in Belfort, France. This ended up being 14 shows in 22 days on the ground in Europe, covering the Netherlands, France, England, and Scotland.

Gold also contributed a track for R. Stevie Moore's Tribute Box Set, a recording of Moore's "Human Race," everything recorded, as a nod to Mr. Moore's DIY-king status, on a Boss Stomp Box looper.
